Development of a compact and cost-effective ultrafast fiber laser for pumping quantum dots.
Since November 2023 and for a period of 18 months, the Q-Spark project aims to develop a technological sector of excellence on single-photon sources based on the picosecond pumping of quantum dots. To address this brick, a collaboration is set up between the company SPARK Lasers (whose ALCOR laser is the industrial reference for multiphoton microscopy and neuroscience), the company QUANDELA and the XLIM laboratory team (UMR CNRS and University of Limoges), internationally renowned for its cutting-edge work in non-linear and ultra-fast fully fiber optics.
